Mercenary’s Primary Ability can also be animation canceled. This Mercenary-exclusive effect will apply a mark on enemies, which when struck will reduce cooldowns by 1 second, and deal an additional 350% damage.
The third hit of Mercenary’s Primary Ability will Expose enemies. Having to constantly be in melee range means being exposed to more enemy attacks, making Mercenary die easily if you aren’t careful. Mercenary is quite challenging to play as his playstyle is very different from every other survivor. However, this item will make items like Backup Magazine and Hardlight Afterburner obsolete, so don’t use them together.
Brainstalks will reduce cooldowns to 0.5 seconds after killing an Elite Enemy, which is incredibly strong in the late game where most enemies are Elite. Alternatively, using it with Forced Assault will make its effect more similar to Blinding Assault, letting you dash three times in a row, but will also let you Expose each enemy hit.īrainstalks: Mercenary relies heavily on repeated use of his abilities to stay alive and deal damage. Using this with Blinding Assault will let you stay in the air almost indefinitely. Hardlight Afterburner: This item is great for Mercenary because it will grant more uses of his Utility. Rose Buckler: Because Mercenary’s Primary attack can be used while sprinting, Rose Buckler’s bonus armor will almost always be in effect, making it one of the best defensive items for this survivor. Harvester’s Scythe needs support with Critical Strikes, but Lens-Maker’s Glasses should be used on any survivor regardless. Leeching Seed and Harvester’s Scythe: Both of these items provide a similar effect when used with Mercenary to grant a large amount of health when using Eviscerate and Whirlwind. However, you only need a few to get the most use out of them. This item doesn’t work nearly as well on any other survivor.īackup Magazine: Having additional uses of Whirlwind will help with mobility and aerial damage. Soldier’s Syringe: This item is a staple for increasing attack speed, which will increase the damage of Eviscerate, and allow you to apply Expose faster with your Primary attack.įocus Crystal: Mercenary is a melee survivor, so all his abilities will greatly benefit from Focus Crystal’s damage boost. Let’s take a look at the best items for Mercenary. Stacking higher attack speed can also help increase Mercenary’s survivability through items like Leeching Seed or Harvester’s Scythe. This means getting items that grant lots of attack speed will greatly increase the power of Eviscerate, as well as allowing you to incorporate other on-hit effects like Sticky Bomb or Charged Perforator. Mercenary’s Special ability Eviscerate scales its hits to your attack speed without increasing the duration of the ability. Choosing items that play to his strengths and balance out his weaknesses will prove to be the best strategy for playing as this character. Mercenary is a melee survivor with high damage but low survivability.
